      <title>When no budgeting app supports your country</title>
      <link>https://hundo.finance/blog/budgeting-app-country-not-supported</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://hundo.finance/blog/budgeting-app-country-not-supported</guid>
      <description>Most finance apps inherit their country list from one data provider. Plaid publishes 20 countries, and there are about 195. Here is how to check an app before you trust it, and what to do when the honest answer is that nothing will connect.</description>

      <title>A Copilot Money alternative, when Copilot is US-only and USD-only</title>
      <link>https://hundo.finance/blog/copilot-money-alternative</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://hundo.finance/blog/copilot-money-alternative</guid>
      <description>Copilot is well made and says plainly that it supports US institutions and US dollars only. That makes the alternative question simple: if you are outside that, you are not comparing features, you are looking for a different kind of app.</description>

      <title>An Empower (Personal Capital) alternative: read the sign-up rule</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://hundo.finance/blog/empower-personal-capital-alternative</guid>
      <description>Empower's dashboard links US institutions in US dollars, and signing up needs a US phone number. That decides the question for most people looking for an alternative, before anybody compares a single feature.</description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://hundo.finance/blog/expense-tracker-no-bank-login</guid>
      <description>Most budgeting apps start by asking for your online banking password. Here is what you give up by refusing, what you get back, and how entry stays fast when nothing fills itself in.</description>

      <title>Looking for a Monarch Money alternative? Start with why</title>
      <link>https://hundo.finance/blog/monarch-money-alternative</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://hundo.finance/blog/monarch-money-alternative</guid>
      <description>Monarch is a good app with a real price and a map that stops at two countries. Which alternative is right depends on whether you are leaving over the cost, the coverage, the bank connection or the currencies - and for one of those, stay where you are.</description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://hundo.finance/blog/net-worth-property-gold-crypto</guid>
      <description>Bank apps count what the bank can see. Portfolio apps count securities. Here is what it takes to put property, metals, crypto, vehicles and money you are owed into one number, and where the automatic part stops.</description>

      <title>Is it safe to connect an AI to your finances?</title>
      <link>https://hundo.finance/blog/is-it-safe-to-connect-ai-to-your-finances</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://hundo.finance/blog/is-it-safe-to-connect-ai-to-your-finances</guid>
      <description>Two questions get run together - can the AI change your records, and where does your data go once it has read it. They have different answers, and only one of them is up to the app you connect.</description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://hundo.finance/blog/ynab-alternative</guid>
      <description>People leave YNAB for four different reasons, and the right replacement depends entirely on which one is yours. A straight guide - including when the answer is another envelope app, not us.</description>

      <title>Finance MCP servers compared: which one should you connect?</title>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://hundo.finance/blog/best-finance-mcp-servers</guid>
      <description>Six MCP servers that put your own money in your AI, judged on the two things that actually differ - where the data comes from, and what happens when the model wants to change something.</description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://hundo.finance/blog/connect-your-finances-to-chatgpt</guid>
      <description>Add Hundo to ChatGPT as a custom MCP server and ask it about your own money. It needs Developer mode, which is the one real hurdle, and everything after that is automatic.</description>

      <title>Mint shut down. How to pick a replacement, including when it should not be us</title>
      <link>https://hundo.finance/blog/mint-alternative</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://hundo.finance/blog/mint-alternative</guid>
      <description>Mint closed in March 2024 and most replacements now cost around $100 a year. A straight guide to choosing one - what the bank-sync apps do well, and the narrower case where a tracker with no bank connection is the better answer.</description>

      <title>What a multi-currency net worth tracker has to get right</title>
      <link>https://hundo.finance/blog/multi-currency-net-worth-tracker</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://hundo.finance/blog/multi-currency-net-worth-tracker</guid>
      <description>Most apps call themselves multi-currency when they convert everything to one base at today's rate. That quietly rewrites your history and makes net worth impossible to read. Here is what the alternative looks like.</description>

      <guid isPermaLink="true">https://hundo.finance/blog/bring-your-own-ai-to-your-money</guid>
      <description>Most financial apps stuff a generic chatbot into a sidebar. Hundo is an agentic finance tracking app built on MCP - connecting your actual ledger directly to Claude, ChatGPT, or the AI model you already use.</description>
